BTC-1,47%

CME Bitcoin futures opened with a $1,440 jump, extending above $113,000 before consolidation.

A full futures gap fill would require a retracement to $109,900, which remains untested.

Bitcoin exchange price reached $112,211, gaining 2.4% in 24 hours with strong intraday momentum.

Bitcoin futures on the CME started the week with a sharp price gap higher. The move came after a long period of sideways trading, during which alternating red and green candles showed limited momentum. At the open, prices jumped from nearly $110,100 to about $111,600. This increase measured approximately $1,440, representing a 1.31% gain.

The strong upward candle sequence pushed contracts quickly toward higher ground, extending beyond $113,000 before settling into consolidation. Trading volume during the spike supported the move, showing strong participation from buyers.

Gap Level and Retracement Target

According to a post on X by Satoshi Stacker, the upward gap remains a defining feature of the week’s opening action. Market data indicates that a full gap fill would require a retracement to $109,900. That level reflects the distance between the last closing price before the weekend and the opening value after the gap.

Price action after the initial jump included sustained green candles, reflecting strong demand through the rally. However, a minor pullback followed after reaching highs near $113,000, leaving the gap only partially filled. Current trading still holds well above the gap entry point, keeping $109,900 as the untested retracement target.
